Close to two dozen cameras are being installed in the Stop Six neighborhood on East Rosedale Street, a part of town long associated with drugs, shootings and blight.

"It's going to help us have more eyes in specific areas," says Ofc. Daniel Segura.

Segura wouldn't disclose exactly where the cameras are being placed but emphasized the units are mobile and monitored around-the-clock by the department's Real Time Crime Center, or RTCC.

"They are 24/7 helping us follow leads, follow suspicious activity and help the community," said Segura.

The cameras aren't necessarily hidden, but instead attach to light or power poles some 20 to 30 feet high. There is one perched near a busy convenience store and apartment complex next to Rosedale Park.
